Agentic RPA Overview - Robotic Process Automation (Udemy.com)

Get the Agentic RPA big picture from a top-ranked, 4-time UiPath MVP!

Our take

Based on the ratings of 32,041 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in June 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a short, concept-first introduction to robotic process automation from Bryan Lamb, a four-time UiPath MVP. It runs about 2.9 hours across 31 lectures, with no quizzes or exercises. The syllabus covers RPA history, benefits and risks, the industries where it fits, current tools, a demo in UiPath Studio and Power Automate, and a plan for bringing RPA into a company. The pitch leans on agentic AI, arguing that RPA still does most of the real work underneath. It is aimed at business people, managers and analysts, not developers.

Reviewers call it clear, concise and well structured. Several say the explanations are easy to follow and the use cases practical, and one who tried a different course first calls this one night and day better. Small complaints include red pop-up text that sometimes covers the part of the video being discussed. The sharper criticism comes from the one-star reviews in the sample: one says it felt like a long advertisement for other courses, another wanted more on the automation process itself. Roughly 28,000 of the 32,041 ratings are four or five stars.

At under three hours, it is a quick way to pick up the vocabulary before any hands-on study, and it was refreshed in June 2026. Expect some selling of the instructor's UiPath series, and don't expect to finish able to build a working bot. It is a good fit for managers, analysts and people sizing up RPA as a career. Developers should skip straight to a hands-on UiPath course.

Best forManagers, analysts and career changers who want the RPA big picture and a rollout plan before touching any tools.
Skip it ifYou want to build bots yourself. The demo is simple, and the hands-on teaching sits in the instructor's other courses.

Pros

  • Short at 2.9 hours, so the whole RPA picture fits in a weekend
  • Covers benefits, risks and an implementation plan, which suits managers
  • Reviewers find the explanations clear and the use cases practical
  • Includes a simple automation demo in both UiPath Studio and Power Automate

Cons

  • One reviewer calls it a long advertisement for the instructor's other courses
  • Demo is simple and there are no quizzes or exercises, so little hands-on practice
  • Red pop-up text sometimes blocks the part of the video being discussed
Took a different course before this one and the difference is night and day. VERY concise but detailed in the right way and places.

Beginner level fits. It asks for basic job experience, a Windows computer and familiarity with Excel, Word and business software.

Course Description

You've probably noticed that AGENTIC AUTOMATION or AGENTIC AI are the hot new buzz words lately. Vendors and consultants are pushing it like crazy because it's one more way to get companies to throw more money at them!

What they AREN'T telling you though is that RPA automations still perform about 80% of the work beneath the surface of "Agentic Automation". The LLM simply charts a course and decides which tools to use... and those tools (often RPA automations) do the heavy lifting!

So... if you're not learning robotic process automation, or, RPA, you will FAIL trying to implement Agentic Automation.

Whether you are a business person who wants to automate a few repetitive tasks, a director or manager who wants to establish an RPA Automation COE, a business analyst, project manager, or aspiring RPA developer, starting with the RPA BIG PICTURE will provide you with the WHY of RPA, and fuel the next steps of your automation journey.

Once inside, 4-time UiPath MVP Bryan Lamb will provide you with a clear overview of robotic process automation including:

  • Robotic Process Automation history and drivers

  • Benefits, challenges, and risks of Robotic Process Automation

  • Industries and applications where RPA fits the best

  • An overview of current Robotic Process Automation tools & capabilities

  • A simple automation demo using UiPath Studio and Power Automate

  • An implementation plan you can use as a guideline to introduce RPA into your company

The goal of this course is to help you see the big picture of robotic process automation and prepare you for further hands-on study using Bryan's other highly rated, best seller courses like:

  • Agentic RPA Tech Primer

  • UiPath Agentic RPA Developer - Level 1

  • UiPath Agentic RPA Developer - Level 2

  • UiPath Test Automation

  • UiPath Automation Hub

Excellent overview and introduction of RPA. About to implement Agentic AI in call centers so I need to get head around the variation and options available.

By Alexander Roygas on 6/2/2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great introductory course to RPA and its role in today's Agentic AI and automation landscape. ⚙️ The instructor explains complex concepts in a clear, easy-to-understand way and provides valuable insights into the benefits, challenges, and real-world applications of RPA. I particularly enjoyed the big-picture approach, which helped me understand not only how RPA works but also why it is becoming such an important skill for modern professionals. The UiPath and Power Automate demos were simple yet effective in demonstrating automation in action. Overall, this is an excellent starting point for anyone interested in automation, RPA, or Agentic AI. Highly recommended for beginners and professionals looking to expand their knowledge and career opportunities.

By David Chase on 4/23/2026

Took a different course before this one and the difference is night and day. VERY concise but detailed in the right way and places. Absolutely going to be checking out the other courses - thanks, Bryan!

By Tan Weizhen Kathryn on 3/20/2026

Sometimes the red pop-up text blocked the part of the video we were meant to be focusing on.

By Trigmansu Panda on 3/11/2026

Automation is a step to move into another world. You make it little simpler to get in. Thanks

By Jonas Dietrich on 3/9/2026

I really liked the course because it clearly explains what RPA is, especially the practical use cases and how to apply it.

By Roberto Estrada on 3/4/2026

interesting course

By Anonymized User on 2/27/2026

It was an excellent learning experience that greatly improved my understanding of RPA and its future scope.

By Fernando Garcia on 12/1/2025

Amazing course! Bryan is a master explaining easily every key aspect of the RPA, he helped me to understand the "basic knowledge" and put it in practice.

By Helen Brookes on 11/5/2025

This course was exceptional, one of the best I've taken on Udemy. Information packed but succinct, the course developer clearly respects the learner's time and makes excellent use of it to pass on relevant and immediately applicable information. He has a deep knowledge of the industry and is clearly passionate about the subject matter. I found some of the content relevant for implementing AI strategies as regards enterprise deployment of AI agents. I wish he'd do a course on that Highly, highly recommend!

By Gank Lu on 11/22/2020

It provides knowledge easy to understand, makes me knowing about it.

By David Gutierrez Teva on 11/8/2020
